After the game the Bristol Post asked head coach Lee Johnson for his verdict on his two new signings, Liam Walsh who started, and Ryan Kent who came on late in the game.

“I thought Walsh was excellent. I thought you could see what he was all about. He’s a real good footballer, he’s got awareness, he’s tough, he hit a couple of big tackles, and he put his head in,” explained Johnson.
